This is the same as happens with Life of Grime. The series is now based around Glasgow but is still a BBC Bristol production.


Edinburgh, actually.

What a Bank Holiday can bring on Regional TV, on NWT today we had Kate Simms who doesn't present that often, and even more bizzarely over on Channel M we had Heather Stott presenting the whole edition of Channel M News, and considering the fact she only used to do the Weather at BBC NW, she was quite good on Channel M, and far less annoying than Clare Fallon.

Is North West Tonight due for a makeover towards the end of the year or the beginning of 2007?

Think about it:

2000 - Makeover
2002 - Makeover
2004 - Makeover
2006 - Makeover Confused:

You never know, the two year cycle is nearly up, you have a point there. But saying that, I'm not bothered, NWT isn't in dire need for a makeover, since they had that technical upgrade and finally started broadcasting in full 16:9, it looks alot better and it certainately refreshed the overall presentation.

I couldn't disagree more, North West Tonight has looked dire ever since they adopted the whole generic look. They could do with smartening themselves up. A lot.

Was it 2004 they got the set update?

The current set, introduced in 2004, is still ok but would look a whole lot better IMO with a proper sofa and not the hideous bench with lots of wires etc on show.

Lots of new camera angles recently, looking much better since the technical revamp I agree.

I don't disagree with that, but I think that the titles and graphics could do with a makeover, especially considering they've just gone into widescreen.

Any reason why they no longer use a 'LIVE' bug?

They do need a new set. Looking at the other BBC regions NWT looks very much out of date.

Well it's the same set Since BBC News got the revamp, all they changed was the paint work from time to time, the rug and Desk and Screen and the sofa.
